🦅 The main strength of US policy today lies in its armed forces.

The US Navy possesses a level of power unprecedented in human history, even relative to global economic development.

American corporations are also a strength, though a lesser one; they are supported by US fiscal policy and by tax advantages granted to them by America’s allies at Washington’s request.

Recent events suggest that the United States might base the creation of an American Commonwealth—whatever name it may be given to obscure its aims—on forms of colonialism.


The radical alternative to a new Commonwealth is a process leading toward a World Federation; this process could be initiated by the creation of a European Federation, which would also reshape the meaning of a multipolar order in the near term.

It is up to a weak Europe to make the most important choices, beginning with giving itself a government capable of difficult, possible, and necessary decisions, writes Dario Velo.

What the British Commonwealth Teaches About Contemporary History
US policy under Trump isn't a sudden rupture but an acceleration of decline, mirroring Britain's Commonwealth. As global power shifts, America faces a choice: build a colonial-style Commonwealth or enable a European federation. Europe must unite or accept subordination.
